/~~ ~ 5 226a where a school exists in the proposed area, and they MacMillan: should stand a fair share of the cost. I would accept him as an authority on this sub3ect. I would like to ask the engineer and the council dust exactly how effective will any sewer system be unless our streets are re-graded, repaved and furnished with curb and gutter. Is this going to be a continuation of errors or will this act tonight be the final act in this comedy of errors. I urge the council to reconsider this proposal:. We would like this to be a proposal which would be more equitable and we feel there are unnecessary stubs running off the proposed system. Nilsen: We invite every citizen to attend these Hearings to open up these matters and to bring these things to everyone's attention. I don't believe this was brought about by any panic button. Also, the school district is included. I feel I can say that the streets are in very good shape and at reasonable cost, too. The Roseville Council and this Council got together about two months ago to talk this over. We are in no position to proceed until all t11e factors are recognized. (Mayor turned petition to Village Clerk to determine validity of petition ) Lemberg: I would like to answer some of the questions as to this 'comedy of errors,' Ne were not the engineers when the sanitary sewer was put in. Right now, the Village of Falcon Heights has some of the best streets in the area. Curb and gutters - if you want them, it can be done, at your expense. This proposed storm sewer is picking up the water at the critical points. It will be put in ditches wherever possible to cut down on the cost. Hazel Sorenson Some of my friends are for this and some of my friends are 1783 Aoltons opposed. There is only one way and that is to let the people vote on this proposal. I am for fair government. A referendum vote would be feasible. Attorney Galvin: There is no provision in the statutes for referendum. (He outlined procedure for improvements and stated sole authority is the council, which must take that responsibility. Proce- dures must be strictly adhered to and there is no basis for a referendum.) MacMillen: I say that if the streets had been properly graded, there would be no need. Evelyn Dilger I don't know how much more of a panic button we should have, 1811 No. Hamline: I am up high - nothing to worry about there. If you ask me, because the water had to be pumped, there was plenty of panic. Our trouble is the school yard - every spring the water comes up and up and up. In the eight ,years I have lived there, our taxes have gone up, and then we also have culverts dug out in front of my house. I would like to have pipes for water ins tead of the culvert. I would like to have the storm sewer put in and then at the dame time have water lines installed, while the hole is still dug.
